The common problem again...  the people that wrote down their myths
and those that called it "the Bible" lived in a culture so different
from ours, with a language so different, that it cannot be used today
without ending up in a fight about "interpretation".

Spinoza said it first. It upset quite a few people at the time.

The message hasn't yet got through to everybody, and you still hear pious fables about parallel bible translations coming out identical (even when they must have come out identically wrong).

Actually, I don't think that follows.  The fact that the translations 
are not perfectly accurate does not prove God did not dictate the Bible. 
  It just means the translations are no more the word of God than the 
original is.  In fact, using language is not a good way to communicate 
something as important as the "word of God".  It is too easy to 
misinterpret a language even in which you are a native speaker.


> It might be what somebody (mis)heard while God was

Yes, you won't get disagreement from me on that issue.  I think when 
people think they hear God talking, it is mostly that noise that your 
brain generates when it is absolutely quiet.

The nice thing about standards is that there are
so many to choose from.

:) Of course too long in such a situation makes you lose your mind.

Hence it is illegal under the Geneva Conventions, and is only used
in third world dictatorships. (Isn't it?) ;}

I've just spent a couple of minutes amusing myself
by having a look at many versions of that verse.
www.biblegateway.com

The vast majority use the word "hate".

Some, e.g. the "Easy-to-Read Version Copyright © 2006
by Bible League International" (no, really, don't laugh!)
simply Bowdlerise it.

Others try to weasel out of it by stating that "hate"
doesn't mean hate. One, the "Amplified Bible Copyright
© 2015 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, CA 90631"
goes so far as to state that "hate" means love!
In that case they might as well state that Jesus
means Allah or Ahura Mazda, or...

You mean, their daily bombs are my projections?
They don't need me for bombing, mostly they have
enough to do with people of the other flavours of
their own religion.

Are you sure you get the vitamins you need, maybe

You don't choose to use bombs (though it's not certain for how long)
but your hate is real.

No, you hate.  You think them to be sub-human.  Militant atheists are
really a sad bunch.

No, it's just that you consider them to be sub-human.

Nope.  Just a statement of fact.

Krw hasn't really mastered the distinction between something he believes and a demonstrable fact. Evidence-based argument is quite beyond him, because he can't see the difference between something he believes and something he can demonstrate to be true. It's an interesting failure of cognition.

Krw knows this in the same way that krw knows most things. Evidence doesn't come into it.

> You think them to be sub-human.

Doesn't follow. Having silly ideas is perfectly human. Trying to get rid of most them is a popular human past-time, but not universal, as krw exemplifies.

>  Militant atheists are really a sad bunch.

Exactly as sad as militant theists. One bunch insists that God exists, the other than he doesn't. Agnostics jeer at both on the basis that the question isn't worth worrying about. If God wanted us to know that he existed, he'd have given us unambiguous proof.

I know that religious people can only hate other people that think
differently, but that does not mean those other people do that too.

You're cracked, too.  You don't even make any sense.

You are so locked into your religious bullshit that you cannot even
understand how other people think about it.  But that does not mean
that other people hate you.  Hate is what is in the religious books.

Remarkably they continue in that vein even when shown direct
uncontestable statements to the effect. (Luke 14:16, q.v.)
(That raises the question of how they react w.r.t. what they
see/read on instruments and in databooks, and similar.)

Their reaction is typically like a politician trying to
deny what they said, frequently even including "it doesn't
mean that"!

Lewis Carrol summed it up in "Through the Looking Glass"...

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one
can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen.
"When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a
day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible
things before breakfast."

You haven't been right yet.  There's no reason anyone should believe
you're going to start anytime soon.
